easiest thing to do is take apart your dash and see what is behind it. As far as the climate controls, it depends on how it is set up. If it electronic, you could probably move it. If there are a bunch of levers and mechanisms, it would be pretty tough.

Some cars are VERY simple to take apart the dash. Some arent. If they are in fact electronic, you should be able to just move the unit to another spot. You may have to extend the wires to make it work. I wish I had electronic climate control!
